When to Worry About Pet Diarrhea
Common causes for diarrhea include: dietary indiscretion (for example, when a dog raids the garbage can), intestinal parasites, bacterial overgrowth of the intestines, viral infection, and inflammatory bowel disease.
As stated above, the approach to treatment can vary depending on a number of factors. If the diarrhea has just started, and there are no other signs of illness present, many cases of diarrhea will resolve on their own with the use of a bland diet. However, I would recommend an examination if the diarrhea is not resolving within a day or two or other signs are present, such as loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, and/or weight loss.
